Don't forget the next Laboratory Blood drive which is being held June 21-24 in the old central cafeteria (T4675). Because of the new badge policy for retirees, it will be necessary for blood drive volunteers and donors to call Marie Teuscher (423-7892) in the LLESA office (after 10:00 a.m.), with your information - full name, social security number and birth date - several days in advance. When you get to the West Badge Office on the day of your visit, your badge should be ready. You can also wait until the day you go to the blood drive and go directly to the West Badge Office, but it will take longer.

Because the Livermore Library is moving to its new facility, the LLNL Retirees Travel Slide Group has changed locations for March through June. The June 22nd, 2:00 p.m. meeting is being held in the Livermore Police Dept. Community Room, next to City Hall. This month's show is entitled "Holland in Spring Time" by Margo and Arne Kirkewoog. The travel group meets on the fourth Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. January through June, so this will be the last one of this year.

There will be no luncheon at Cattlemen's restaurant this month, because of the Picnic at Ravenswood, which is June 16th at noon. There is a maximum of 120 people, and at the time of this writing 104 people have signed up. Reservations, with the $17 fee, can be accepted until we reach 120 people, or until June 10th.

The nominating committee for next year's officers for the Retiree Association is being formed now. If you are interested or willing to serve your fellow retirees in any capacity, please contact Alan Mode, Chair@LLNLRetirees.org.

If you are tired of hearing about Jane and Gus Olson's trips, please submit something of your own on trips, volunteer activities, hobbies, or anything else that retirees, or potential retirees, would be interested in hearing about. Oh, by the way, we did just return from a two week trip back east to Indiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia. The North Carolina portion was to visit Frank Rogue (Electronics Engineering, 1993) with his new wife, Margie, at his new home.

Please send any news or input (please include the date and department from which you retired) to Jane or Gus Olson. E-Mail: Jane@LLNLRetirees.org or Gus@LLNLRetirees.org. .
